Patch Notes are up!

[Darsho]

So I'm guessing it still can't be "face-rolled," and people running around like chickens still accomplish the same results.
I suppose that also means that a vast majority of the nerf complaints are completely pointless.

I wouldn't say pointless, it is definitely WAY easier. But with new people in the group everyone needs to be clear on what they're doing or it'll still wind up a catastrophe, or at least close to one now that it's nerfed.

WELP did SoF 2 times post nerf, second PUG group somehow managed to wipe by letting Vishap get to the end.

SoF will be forever known as "Loss of Faith" to me.

Patch 2.58 Notes

Steps of Faith has been adjusted as follows:

• Vishap now turns around when he reaches the final gate and heads back to the entrance.

Damn. The NPC practically tells you what to do. Was it really that difficult?

Yes, totally. On last time we helped FC members, we PUGged the last member, a DRG. All she had to do was to use LB3 right after the powder kegs exploded. She never popped it and after the first wipe (they were mostly new guys and had problems with cannons), the DRG asked : "Can you tell me when to LB ?". I told her : "NPC tells you when, it's smack in the middle of your screen when it happens."

In all fairness, the LB shouldn't be the deciding factor, but when people also ask "when do we use snare" because they can't see Lucia telling them to do so, then you know it's not just one person, but many.

Lolz . . . 19 pages of people complaining about Steps.

On another note, has anyone listened to the new primal mount music? I'm excited to hear it later!

I just tested them out. They're neat! Shiva or Leviathan for example, have the second part of their theme. Sleipnir has the FATE/trial theme. Both Garuda and Ifrit have their complete themes. I can't tell Titan, I bet it's the final phase's theme. I don't have it. ;_; I wish the Nighmare had its own theme though.

Which is why voice acting in Steps of Faith would have been a fantastic idea (and she should only speak the language that appears in the speech bubble. Even if you chose to have Japanese voices, she would speak English).

Are they ever gonna stop nerfing stuff? All it does it breed more bad players...

Really hoping heavensward is challenging and stays that way. :/

Heavensward would be only until 3.01 a challenge, if the same people start to complain at the next non-faceroll content.

SE really needs to put their foot down. I have stopped using the DF for a long time because I refuse to carry people who won't help themselves and come in DF expecting a 100% carry with learning nothing and being terribad. (Not everyone is like that, but you know some are) I just do premade groups now...always.

So I'm guessing it still can't be "face-rolled," and people running around like chickens still accomplish the same results.

Pretty much.

Just finished a run of it about 15 minutes ago - the biggest and most obvious change was the lowering of Vishap's health pool. We had him down about the time he was reaching the third Dragonkiller but after the explosive barrels, with no LB3, with a mix of more geared and at the requirement players.

The next biggest difference I noticed was the damage reduction and the result of that - with most adds not quite the threat they were before (turtle aoe took off maybe 50% of my health) it's easier to stay alive in general the whole through. Getting stepped on could still take someone out if they are less than 75% health though.

Missing the snares/DKs or running around like chickens could still lead to wipes, but it more forgiving overall.
